Er…
is there any need to actually *bake* these cookies?
I mean…I could probably just eat the dough….
And nobody has to know, right?
I’m an adult, I mean…
Would you blame me?

Hi Maytal–I think doing the 1.5 thing would work. I’ve only made it this way, so I can’t even verify that the volume isn’t way too much for 6″ anyhow, but nonetheless, even if there is extra I personally don’t know anyone who would complain. It is a little soft. I’m not sure how that work work for larger-than-6″ slices, but, well, even if it’s messy it will still be crazy delicious. I bet some raspberries on top would be awesome, but I’d plop them on right before I served it. Sorry I can’t give you more of a definitive answer!

Hi Deb,

So the recipe you have is for a 9in tart and the chocolate recipe fills a 6in tart. Since I would rather make a large tart, how do you think I should proceed? Should I just double the chocolate filling by a third?

Also, do you think this would taste good as a large tart? Would it be hard to serve in large slices with the ganache soft? Would it taste good with some fresh fruit on top?

That picture of the dropping chocolate is sheer decadence, how lucky your family members are to have such a loving cook in their midst!
